When I taught 6th grade, we did a School House Rock performance. My class sang "I'm Just a Bill" and "Interplanet Janet". But after all the rehearsals and the show, I couldn't listen to any of them for a while But I know all the words still! My favorites: Interjections! Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla My Hero, Zero

I love them all. My favorites to sing along to are:
Suffering until Suffrage Gravity No more kings Mr. Morton Figure 8
I dunno. I actually love to sing all of them and think it was one of the most brilliant collections of children's songs ever written.

I still remember the entire preamble to the Constitution, 40 years later, thanks to Schoolhouse Rock:) That one was my absolute favorite but I loved them all. Me too! I remember singing it in my head when I took a test in high school where we had to write it out. I also love: Interplanet Janet Three-That's a Magic Number Lolly, Lolly, Lolly Get Your Adverbs Here Mother Necessity A Noun is a Person Place or Thing Do you knows this special will be aired?

Love them all! And, I used them to teach various concepts throughout my teaching career but, my favorite by far is Three Ring Government. I love the tune and often hum it when I'm lost in a project.

Oh there's so many!
Conjunction junction, which I believe is probably the most recognized. Lolly, Lolly, Lolly get your adverbs here! Shot Heard 'Round the World The Preamble A Noun is a Person, Place, or Thing Figure 8 (I once did a ballet dance to this song) I'm Just a Bill ...and so many more!
Obviously, I cannot pick!

Oh my gosh, that's hard. I'd say Mr. Morton & Conjunction Junction.
DH would find this easy...his favorite is I'm Just a Bill.

I love them all. A band i saw Friday night actually did a version of I'm Just a Bill for their sound check. It was very cool.

Definitely the Preamble. All of the others I can sing snippets (usually the title phrase), and once I dig them up on YouTube, I remember most of it. But I've always been able to sing the Preamble word for word, anywhere, anytime.

Three is a Magic Number. At DH's job. one of his co-workers sings "Just a Bill" to him since DH is Bill. It's amazing that most of us still remember the words to those Schoolhouse Rock songs. Good times.

Conjunction Junction for sure! We have the DVD set. My kids love it and both older kids used it to learn the preamble. So will the little one.

I love them all! A local children's theatre just did Schoolhouse Rock Live! I loved it!
My favorites are probably I'm just a Bill and Conjunction Junction.

Mine is pronouns, with Rufus Xavier Sarsaparilla and his kangaroo. And I really did learn to recite the preamble by learning that song.

Interplanet Janet got me interested in astronomy, and the political ones got me interested in U.S. politics.
Loved Conjunction Junction & Lolly, Lolly, Lolly. I'm convinced I did so well with grammar as a result of those two.
Elbow Room was good.
I used to like Mother Necessity. Just watched it again and do NOT like it at all.
